Other cities like Las Vegas have beat-the-heat programs too however they don’t use a dime of taxpayer money to do it.

Meh. I’m a fan of Police having hot cars to play with. And an even bigger fan of the Beat the Heat type programmes. Perhaps it’s my Australian heritage

I think the impact of the used market is key here, and what debunks comparisons to brands like Cadillac. You can put a 30 year old Caddy next to a brand new one, and nobody they’re targeting will mistake the CTS-V for the ‘88 Brougham. But with a HD? Plop an ‘88 Super Glide with the paint shined up next to a 2018…

Other than having a multi million dollar liability on their books, I don’t understand why Ford didn’t just create a 2 year lease with a buy option if they really wanted to keep people from selling.

Watch the damn video and you would see that he uses a light to show the before and after.  This guy knows his shit, he’s not hiding anything.

Is this an actual problem that people have?Assuming you don’t have sharp-ass talons on your fingers, how is it even physically possible for a human fingernail to scratch a car’s paint?

It is likely we just value different stuff. I don’t _particularly_ give a crap about drivers, I’m much more interested in the engineering and tech behind the cars, and a robotic racing league promises to allow much more unrestricted development since human safety will no longer be a part. To me, NASCAR and Indy are…

Martin Brundle agrees.

Once you do immoral things like doxxing someone, you lose the moral high ground.

What you described isn’t athleticism...I can play golf in the worst shape of my life and be fine. I can be wasted drunk and never have to carry anything to heavy or move too fast. Just hitting a ball accurately. I’d say it’s closer to pool or chess than it is to a real sport. Just cause you like golf doesn’t make it…

Good idea.

I always wondered if you put ping pong balls in those kinds of exhaust how far they would shoot. Have a valve that drops them whiles its running hard, so they could launch farther.

Apparently so is reading the article.

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing “Hallelujah.”

I’d be tempted to sell a kidney just to get one of those Aussie 4.0L sixes...

Marine application often calls for mods for safety, such as provision for removing hazzard causing gases, fuel safety, and flame stops such as seen of the carb. Simply a screen wire that prevents flame from escaping out the top of the carb in a backfire. Auto engines always require such mods.

They didn’t invent F1, the FIA did, and as the article points out, that’s also not why they have veto power.

Have you not been paying attention?
They already do, and have been, for a couple hundred years.
They have really ramped it up in the past couple of decades, however, and it has been only hurting the US Worker.

That would mean American makers Ford and GM make cars that other countries even want. Which, for most of Europe, is not really true. The ones they do want they already have (Ford Fiesta/Focus/Mondeo (nee Fusion)) plus subcompact SUVs.

Some quick research showed that the F-35 is much louder than the F-16.
